I understand why they don’t do it but I really want to see people start responding to that shit with “Yes, I support Hamas in their efforts to protect Gaza from Israel. Hamas has a right to defend itself.”
Honestly, I think condemning Hamas in these situations is a mistake. It starts you on the back foot, accepting their framing of the situation. No, I do not condemn Hamas, or their actions on October 7th, for the same reason I would not condemn the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
"Do you support Hamas?"
"I do not support Hamas."
"WHY CAN'T YOU SAY THAT YOU DON'T SUPPORT HAMAS?!?!?!"
I hope that he is given the same treatment that the IOF has given so many Palestinians when the revolution comes.
